Mike Salk

First Russ, then Bobby... should the Seahawks deal DK Metcalf? You have to take it seriously after the last few days of national conversation. They don’t have the QB, don’t have a full roster, and you have to wonder if it is worth paying him. How do you grade the Mariners offseason? Jim Bowden gave it an A.  Others have given it a C, Salk gives them a B and explains why. We hear Pete Carroll's "Voicemails" from the NFL Owner's Meetings before talking to Brock Huard about the start of UW Football.

Salk is very excited to start the show with news of the Top Gun: Maverick movie trailer, but the conversation quickly turns to if the Seahawks should deal DK Metcalf even though John Schneider/Pete Carroll both said they don't "intend" to. Logan Gilbert struggled yesterday in his Spring Training start and we learn more details about Jimmy Lake's firing at UW before revisiting yesterday's Joe Fann conversation. MLB's Top 100 Players list has Jesse Winker ahead of other big names linked to the M's this offseason.

Salk takes your calls on what led to the split between Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Then, Brock joins us to give his thoughts on that topic. He has been doing an informal poll around the league and reveals the most common answer he heard. Plus, an earlier discussion on MLB considering moving bases closer together leads to a Ranking of bases.

Our weekly chat with Joe Fann covers the newly proposed NFL OT rule that would have teams continuing to play after the end of regulation until a score and ending Salk's least-favorite: the coin flip. Joe also answers Salk's question of the day regarding the Russell and the Seahawks split and believes it was more about Russ's own ego than anything else. Salk asks Seahawks fans to call and share their own thoughts.

Some old audio from a 16 month old Brock & Salk podcast (where Salk sounds like a jerk) is uncovered where Salk blames the "smart 12s" on Twitter for the end of Russell's tenure in Seattle after years of the 'Let Russ Cook' narrative. Maura thinks Russell's ego is to blame & Justin believes Russ lost trust in Pete & John's ability to evaluate talent. 'Take the L' sees Will Smith, Jesse Winker & Johnny Manziel take the L before Brock Huard addresses Salk's question about Russell's exit.

Among the rule changes being floated in baseball, bigger bases have been talked about a lot - but moving second base closer to home plate (and more in-line with 1st & 3rd) makes Salk excited for the implications of how it can affect the game. We revisit the Jason Churchill (Prospect Insider) conversation from yesterday and Salk asks the fans what truly caused the Russell Wilson breakup.

Jerry Dipoto told us about a week and a half ago that they wanted to add a top of the rotation starter. Are you starting to get nervous that it's not going to happen? Then, Brock Huard joins the show to react to last night's Oscar's incident and give his thoughts on the Broncos saying they will build the offense around Russ and what he likes.

Is the Mariners starting rotation good enough to go as-is? Jason Churchill (Prospect Insider) discusses Matt Brash, George Kirby and the Mariners lack of depth on the current starting rotation. Stacy Rost (Jake & Stacy, 10a-2p) joins Salk in-studio to discuss her thoughts on the Slap Heard Round The World. Brady Henderson calls in from the NFL Owner's meetings.

Salk breaks down more of his thoughts on the Chris Rock & Will Smith incident and we discuss if Smith's "apology" was good enough during his acceptance speech. The Broncos say they will build the offense around Russ and what he likes to do, but what does that really mean? Brock Huard returns from vacation to address the Broncos story.

Salk is invested in the Will Smith & Chris Rock drama so much that he wishes they would have covered it like a sporting event. Matt Brash & George Kirby looked fantastic in their past 2 Spring Training starts by striking out a ton of hitters and throwing hard. Great drama leading up to the Elite Eight, but in the end we have four blue bloods playing for the national title.
